Missing home today

I miss my family every day, but there are some days when just hearing their voice makes me cry when I get off the phone. Like today. I wish I wasn't three hours away from my family.
Things I miss the most:

• Dad hugs - no one gives better hugs than dads - except for maybe grandma
• picking fun at my nephew
• sitting on the couch watching junk t.v. with my mom
• my bed.. and if you've ever slept in my bed you know exactly what i'm talking about (don't get the wrong idea I use to have a lot of slumber parties...pervs)
• my parents backyard... i love the view
• my sister - I love being around her and hearing her laugh
• seeing my niece's reaction when I first walk in the door... "BECCA!!!!" as she runs into my arms
• listening to dad complain about the dogs - that's when I know i'm really home
• watching stupid videos with my sister
• playing games with my niece and nephew and forcing myself to lose so they won't cry
• talking to mom about... everything ... and knowing she won't ever judge me
• my sweet puppies tara, bisket, and of course little miss olivia
• my brother in laws sarcastic comments - he always has me in stiches
• and just being goofy with my family 

I am the most blessed person with the most amazing family. I guess I should just be thankful I have them at all - even if they are a good drive away. I know if I ever need them, they are there - AND they are the only people in the world that no matter what are forced to love me :)
